so i think im losing the baby :(
i have been spotting since yesterday, and I have had a mc b4 at 8 wks. I had a healthy pregnancy with no spotting and have a gorgeous 1 yr old son and now at 10 wks preg spotting again 
- just want to vent about the lack of compassion from one of the nurses at my office- I called and explained thw whole situation- not bright red, no cramps etc but this is exactly what has happened b4 and she just hung on in silence and i had to say hello??? and she says well not all soptting is bad and BELIEVE ME I KNOW THAT and i asked to be seen by us tech so i coudl get a heads up so i dont have to wait two more weeks till next visit and she says well i think they have a full schedule-WHAT do they not have emerg time and why ar eu not considering this an emergency!!! anyway got an appt @ 9:20 and have had that appt time b4 and tech usually walks in at 9 30 so this blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope i can get some sleep tonight
Re: so i think im losing the baby :(
If it helps, I spotted at 11 weeks with no cramps. I ended up going to the ER because I couldn't get my doc to call me back.
The good news is that what the nurse said is true - not all spotting is bad. Your baby will most likely be ok. I thought the same thing when I spotted - I SOAKED A PANTYLINER with bright red blood and even txt my dh that I was miscarrying.
thankfully, everything turned out to be ok. don't give up.
Sorry you're going through this. I hope it works out and everything is fine. Please update us after your appt tomorrow. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers in the meantime. Hang in there....
I really don't want to sound like some kind of sap, but you really REALLY need to calm down and relax as much as you can. Stress isn't good for you or your body. You are doing everything that you can do at this point and you're getting a lot of thoughts and prayers on here (including my own). Try your hardest to focus on your beautiful little one and try to get some rest tonight. Try to think positive- don't assume that it's going negative so soon.
*hugs*
I'm so sorry you're going through this. The nurse, although insensitive, is right...not all spotting is bad. Every pregnancy is different. I wouldn't worry until the doctor tells you to. I know its hard to deal with. Stressing more won't help you. I haven't had any spotting so I can't give any personal experience, but I knot its very common like the other girls saying.
I would show up at the appointment EXTRA early if possible to make sure that YOU'RE ontime so maybe you can try to squeeze in in front of someone else tha tmight have a close appointment time.
I will be thinking of you!! Please update us after the appointment tomorrow.

I will pray for you and the baby! Just try not too stress to much about it! Stay strong!
I spotted for four weeks straight and was so convinced I was m/c'ing I was a total mess... crying, depressed, it was horrible. When I went for an u/s I was prepared for the worst, but baby was just fine (and still is). Now I really regret spending so much time upset and stressed when we were just fine.
Also, that nurse was rude, but if it makes you feel better, she probably wasn't upset or concerned b/c they get 10,000 calls a day from people about spotting and it doesn't always mean anything bad. When I called the nurse was like, 'do you have any idea how many women call every day about brown spotting?" sure it doesnt' make you feel any better when it's you, but that tells you it is very common and definitely not always a bad sign. GOod luck!
